Most likely chalker hasn't finished making it yet.

Yep... I'll get around to it soon I promise.

That's not how it works.

This is just something for our practice. We need 1 person to pick a target xcm away from the center and this is how we decide. It is just for practice.

Thank You! If you can post the planned parts we can start ordering it ahead of time (we know it isn't final).

Keep in mind that you can't move the barrier mirror.

(1) What happens when you accidently knock over the mirror or move the mirror? (2) Can you intentionally lift the barrier mirror and put it back down (to put something under the barrier mirror)? (3) is the location of the barrier mirror marked? How does the proctor ensure that it is not moved?

(1) It depends on the supervisor I guess: We did that at states and he let us put it back up. I don't know if every supervisor will be that nice.
(2) No
(3) Some proctors will have it taped down (like at nats this year) and of course the proctor will be watching you.

Are you allowed to use tape to tape down templates or paper on the kit? Thanks!

I think so, although I’ve never done that so you’ll have to check on that somewhere.

As long as you can remove it without damaging the setup, it should be ok.
